New Manager Starter Kit

New Manager Starter Kit — First 30 days, 1:1s, delegation and feedback — for first-time managers.

Nobody teaches you how to manage — one day you are promoted, and the next you are running 1:1s, delegating to former peers and giving feedback with no script. This kit is that script: a plain-language guide to your first year as a manager, plus three editable meeting and feedback templates you will use every single week.

What's inside

• New Manager Guide (PDF): your first 30 days, running 1:1s that are not status meetings, delegating without micromanaging, the SBI feedback framework with worked scripts, team meetings, and managing former peers
• 1-on-1 Meeting Template (editable DOCX) with a ready question bank and example notes
• Team Meeting Agenda Template (editable DOCX) — a tight agenda structure that keeps meetings under an hour
• Feedback Preparation Worksheet (editable DOCX) built around the Situation–Behaviour–Impact framework
• Word-for-word example scripts for the hardest conversations: delegating, correcting, and setting boundaries with former peers
• The seven most common first-year manager mistakes — and what to do instead

How it works

Open the DOCX files in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and replace the example text with your own details — the layout, spacing and structure are already done. The PDF guide walks you through step by step, with ready-to-use wording you can adapt.
